How to Communicate Better in Marriage: The One Listening Shift That Changes Everything

Are you and your spouse talking, but somehow still missing each other? 

In this episode of Happy in the Middle, Christian Marriage Coach Jane Copier explores one simple shift that can transform communication in marriage:

Stop listening to respond. Start listening to understand.

Learn how to listen without immediately becoming defensive, hear the emotions underneath your spouse's words, ask better questions, and create more understanding, -even when you don't agree.

Jane shares personal stories, practical marriage communication tools, Scripture, and a simple five-minute listening exercise you can try this week.

You'll discover why “Tell me more” and “Help me understand” may be two of the most powerful phrases you can bring into your marriage.

If you want better communication, deeper emotional intimacy, and a stronger connection with your spouse, this episode is for you.
